Hi there [MENTION=4544494]anthonycr[/MENTION]

I really like your work. I have a little compatibility problem with my Galaxy S4. On most ROMs the long-press of the physical back button works ok to close the current tab or all tabs. I have installed this ROM which offers great performance:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/rom-angelcalibur-alucard24s-optimized-t3093919

I have tried all the configuration options about the hardware buttons and so far it will not work. Is there any way you could give it a try?, they have builds for other cellphone models as well. Is there any logcat file you would like me to post to help you figure out whats going on?

Thanks for your support and the great work

Depends on your device. Give both browsers a try and report back.
[Android Apps and Games] nick_white:
I don't think Lightning "hibernates" inactive tabs. So on low memory devices, after opening a couple of tabs, it will crash.

Also, if you (temporarily) switch to another app, like copy some text from a page and paste it in another app, because all tabs are keps in RAM (not only the active one, maybe plus a couple), when you switch back, everything is reloaded because Android can't keep 250 MB for an app.

These are the problems I faced, so I stopped using Lightning...

Incognito mode help

Hello, I'm hoping someone can help with an issue i have: When in incognito mode, some elements of certain webpages just won't work. For example; a button that when pressed displays a search bar for that page won't work in incognito mode. The button appears to be highlighted but the search bar never appears. Also some videos will never load. I'm fairly certain it's something that's being disabled for security's sake in incognito but i need it to work (it works in chrome incognito). Any suggestions? I will buy the browser if i can get it to work. Edit: It also works fine when not in incognito

I can't find with a search if this was asked before ( maybe even by me years ago, since I tried it long ago and the browser is not usable without it ) but... How to download a file ? I can't find any "save as", or "save link" or any other option of the kind. There's a "download" option specifically for images only but that's it.

Edit : Okay, so I see after using it for a while that I get a prompt for some types of files ( .zip, for example ) but not for others ( .txt or .html for instance ) which will open directly without any way to save or download them that I can find.

[Android Apps and Games] tuxic001:
Hi,

I like this browser ! :)

I have two questions:

How can I download a linked text file with the browser?

Example: On this page: http://www1.s2.starcat.ne.jp/ndxc/news.htm

you will find a link "The current A15 shortwave schedule text file" on the

right hand side. It is no problem to show/list the contents of that file

(a list of all currently active shortwave/AM broadcasters)....but I cannot

manage to download it to my memory. How can I do that?

(Same goes for the ZIP file below that link)

How can I access the Settings for "bookmarks". As soon as I click on it,

the browser dies.

The history will not be cleared even if "Clear History on Exit" is set. I really end

the app.

Tried on an ASUS MeMO Pad 7 (ME 176CX) Lollipop 5.0 (second firmware

update by ASUS), rooted.

Lightning browser 4.2.3.1

Best regards

2. option not to open pages in overview by default?

Re: [APP][2.2+] The Lightning Browser v2.0.0 - the fastest browser around

I dont know what youre missing, the current enable flash option only enables it on demand because i found that some websites with lots of flash ads would crash the app if flash was enabled completely. You'll see a little green download button on each flash embedded object so you can activate it (if you have flash enabled in options) :)

Eventually I'll be making either full screen or full-er screen than it is already.

1. Probably not

2. Probably I'll do that (gets annoying opening in overview mode on my 3.2 inch phone) :P

3. Eventually, I miss this feature.

4. Not sure how easy I can implement it

Re: [APP][2.2+] The Lightning Browser v2.0.0 - the fastest browser around

Hey Anthony,

Just want to suggest that you make another app that imports our bookmarks from other browsers into yours. I say another app so that the main browser app does not get cluttered with features, and it will keep the main browser low on memory. Also, the second app should not have to be installed to keep the bookmarks in the main app (basically; download second app, press import button, it imports the bookmarks from our browser of choice to Lightning Browser, then we can uninstall the bookmark importer app, and still keep our bookmarks in your app). I also emailed this to you, so if you see this twice, don't think it's Deja Vu, lol.

*Browsers To Support*

1) Chrome, Regular and Beta

2) Dolphin, Reg., Beta, and Mini

3) Firefox

4) Opera, Reg., Beta, and Mini

5) Maxthon/UC Brower, Idk which to choose.
[Android Apps and Games] arosequist:
If I have a few tabs open in Lightning, then go home and re-open Lightning, the tabs are still there and everything's good.

If I have a few tabs open in Lightning, then go home and click on a link in another app (like Twitter), the tabs are all removed and the link I clicked is the only one left.

Simple fix?
[Android Apps and Games] ermacwins:
1. Reopening closed tabs a very handy feature that Dolphin has

2. Its annoying on my 4.8" phone

Cool app!
[Android Apps and Games] khaos64:
How do you go forward, cant find a button anywhere. I read it was removed then read there was an update for gestures. I've tried 1/2/3 finger swipes. If there is no forward it kind kills all the good things of this browser, if there is it needs to be easier to find, if it's a gesture other than the above it needs to be documented somewhere. Also if there's a gesture for forward it would be nice to have the opposite for back for uniformity and not just the device button if that's not already the case. On a Oneplus 2.
[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
See the navigation drawer swiping on left side, on the bottom you'll find : back - new tab - forward.
[Android Apps and Games] khaos64:
Thanks for the quick reply but... swiping where on the left and in what direction, I've tried but get nothing. No navigation drawer on left only home button.
[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
Right, because I don't use tabs on top but you do from what I see. Settings -> General Settings -> Show Tabs in Navigation Drawer.
[Android Apps and Games] khaos64:
Thanks that did it, must have selected that on my initial start thinking it would make tabs more accessible without realizing it was actually a handicap :silly:. Should have some fine print or something.

[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:

[Android Apps and Games] androcraze:
I never save my passwords. I'd consider LB not saving them a "feature".

However.... Foolish question.....

If you're running 6.0.x Marshmallow, did you set App Permissions under settings? I had headaches downloading until I enabled "Storage".
[Android Apps and Games] MonQue:
I'm on Lollipop. The username is only thing, that Lightning remembers(
[Android Apps and Games] mcarlosd:
It's great, it was the best :), but I uninstalled because it leaves me save to SD card and then play videos, reduced by large margins that screen is not disappearing :(
[Android Apps and Games] androcraze:
For "it leaves me save to SD card":

Did you set "Storage" permissions under Settings -> Apps in Marshmallow?

I don't understand "and then play videos, reduced by large margins that screen is not disappearing". Do you mean it won't play videos full-screen? There is a check box under display setting for full-screen.
[Android Apps and Games] mcarlosd:
I choose to download route options to the SD card and not let me download in SD.

When playing videos full screen and leave the full screen mode, the screen is reduced so large and is smaller. only solution is to close and re-enter.

One question, how permits are given ?, have to edit a file ?.

The appreciate your help, thank you very much and a hug. :)
[Android Apps and Games] androcraze:
--

Under Marshmallow, go to:

Settings -> Apps -> Lightning -> Permissions

Click/toggle the slider next to "Storage" so it's colored (green on my phone)

--

So, you're playing a video full-screen (in full screen mode), you exit the video, and the screen size is reduced? Are you rotating the phone to view the video? Can you capture a screen shot or two that give an example? Or a link to the video?
[Android Apps and Games] mcarlosd:
It refers to android android Marshmallow ?, I have KITKAT in LG G3S :rolleyes:

Margins on screen, I leave screenshots:

before

after

before

a hug and thanks, you are a great help :good:;)
[Android Apps and Games] androcraze:
Yes, I was referring to Marshmallow 6.0.X. You can't set permissions like that under KitKat. Have you tried changing the download folder using "Download Location -> Custom", and changing it from "/storage/emulated/0/Download" to "/sdcard/Download"?

Thank you for posting the screen shots. I see what you mean by the screen size shrinking; you're getting gray borders as a result.

I've tried a number of videos on YouTube (including the one in your screenshot), and am unable to repeat what we're seeing in the screenshots. I'll start the video, rotate the phone, press the square with the triangles in the corners to get full screen, rotate the phone while in full screen, press the square to return to regular view.... The screen view always returns to normal (correctly-sized with no borders).

My settings:

Settings -> Display Settings:

- Hide status bar while browsing - unchecked

- Full-screen Mode - unchecked

- Use wide viewport - checked

- Load pages in overview mode - checked

- Enable text reflow - checked

Settings -> General Settings:

- User Agent - Default
[Android Apps and Games] mcarlosd:
I changed the download path, but the application will not listen and download where you want.

Interesting bit on saving to the SD card on the LG G3:

Also, per this reddit read:

You may want to try:

/storage/emulated/legacy

or

/storage/external_SD

or

/storage/sdcard0
[Android Apps and Games] mcarlosd:
The problem of SD is not serious, it can be routed to any application that deviates downloads to SD. The most serious problem appears to me to play videos, since the problem makes me close the application and having to reopen it.

[Android Apps and Games] androcraze:
The screen resize problem is a developer issue. Have you posted the issue and images on the Git page? If you're rooted, could you post a log (CatLog or MatLog)?

The good news is that the developer has been updating Git like crazy recently, I'm hoping for many fixes (not new features, as I like Lightning as-is)
[Android Apps and Games] AymanDev:
Works relatively well and UI is nice. I'll use it a bit more before giving feedback but so far so good! Thank for sharing.
[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
Been following the GitHub activity too and it seems it is indeed focused on improving and fixing, but I sure hope downloading files or a simple "save link" / "save as" dialog is finally present in the next version.

This is a very good browser that I've tried every single time a new version came out, and was always utterly baffled as to why the most fundamental function was never implemented, thus making it impossible to use as a daily driver.
[Android Apps and Games] androcraze:
Have you added a feature request on Git?

I'm able to download files well using Lightning, for those things designed to be downloaded. I imagine you're referring to long-pressing an image, for instance, and having a dialog pop-up asking what to do. The only issue I've run into with the current release is having to manually set the "Storage" permission under MM. Otherwise, I'm very happy.
